Any Ceratogryus lovers in the house?

[PelesAsher]

How many species are available to the hobby? I know darlingi, marshalli and sanderi are [readily available] of the below.

• Ceratogyrus attonitifer
• Ceratogyrus brachycephalus
• Ceratogyrus darlingi
• Ceratogyrus dolichocephalus
• Ceratogyrus hillyardi
• Ceratogyrus marshalli
• Ceratogyrus meridionalis
• Ceratogyrus paulseni
• Ceratogyrus pillansi
• Ceratogyrus sanderi

I have marsalli and darlingi but they are still slings. I'm so excited for horns! Their webbing, creative digging, eagerness to take prey and boldness is so endearing. I love this family of T's and would like to collect more in the future.

Please post pics of your Ceratogryus!

I have 2 marshallis and one darlingi all are females, I love them they are definitely unique

I don't own any (Yet) but I know that some C. meridionalis are for sale on Tarantula Canada.

The horns don't really do it for me so I only have a meridionalis sling

Probably about the best pic I'm going to get of this thing.

meridionalis

haha, yes they seem to be little turds for photographing. I refuse to give up though. That carapace and brindle/spotted looking abdomen, she's going to be beautiful. Can I ask where you purchased your sling?

I checked out TC but I can't import, that's understandable.

Yeah, trying to coax it out for a pic is long

I'm based in the UK but I got it from So Many Legs.

Thank for you introducing me to another UK based shop. My bank account is already weeping.

I love the look of Ceratogyrus' honestly, the horn especially is just, so bizarre to me in a good way. Only thing is I don't exactly own one, although I think I may try to get a sling at some point as I've heard they're quite good as old world beginners species.

I only have a C marshalli, which is a sling. I've only had it for a few weeks, so nothing to really report about it, yet. I'm looking forward to seeing it grow. Been meaning to get one for a while and ended up getting it in a mystery box.

 

[PelesAsher]

They are fast! But amazing, i highly reccomend them. Mine are always visible, they dug their burrows along the the walls of their enclosures. Great under and above ground architects.

My Marshalli built a dirt chimney to the directly under his lid. He's always perched on top of it, little creeper. Im wondering if perhaps hes telling me his substrate is not deep enough

Im going to look at many legs even though im in the states.

 

[PelesAsher]

Wonderful surprise!

I don't see Miss Hissypants (mature female Ceratogyrus marshalli) that often, but when I do, it's worth it.

This is the only time I've been able to take pictures of my pet hole since I got her in October...

I have had a bunch of them back many years ago. Had a successful matings on C darlingi. Tried to mate C mrshalli but i dont remember if it was success? If i remember correctly, i dont think so. Had C sanderi which i thought where particulair cool. They have the horn bent forward i think. Meerly a small button than a horn. I had a few more like C meriodonalis and some more! C brachycephalus ate my favourite i think, together with C marshalli! Very fascinating genus

Shes gorgeous! I hope one of my slings turns out to be a female.

Is this genus easy to breed?
